OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen Vol. 1, 2 & 3
Text by Christophe Van Gerrewey, Go Hasegawa, Ellis Woodman, Giovanna Borasi, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen.
The Brussels-based OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen was set up in 2002 by Kersten Geers (born 1975) and David Van Severen (born 1978), and is celebrated for its idiosyncratic and highly theoretical approach, as instanced by the widely acclaimed Belgian Pavilion for the 2008 Architectural Biennial in Venice. The team brings architecture back to the essentials: with a limited set of basic rules a framework is created within which life in all its complexity can be played out. This massive three-volume publication, the most comprehensive survey of their work yet published, and the only one in print (previous monographs now being rare and expensive), reproduces models, drawings and perspectives created by the architects along with works of art that are related to the spirit and language of this internationally esteemed firm.
